The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.
The OECD Environment Directorate (ENV), in line with the strategic objectives of the Secretary-General, provides relevant and timely information, analysis and advice to support governments in identifying and implementing the environmental policies needed to support a cleaner, more resource-efficient, resilient and low-carbon development pathways. The Directorate currently comprises approximately 200 staff members working across a broad range of issues such as: climate change, biodiversity, water, eco- innovation, resource productivity and waste, environmental policy tools and evaluation, green growth, safety of chemicals, biotechnology and nanomaterials, and linkages between environment and tax, agriculture, energy, transport, development assistance, trade and investment policies. For more information, please refer to www.oecd.org/env.
The Environmental Performance and Information Division of the Environment Directorate (ENV/EPI) is leading the development of internationally harmonised information in support of policies related to the environment and sustainable development. Specifically, the Division carries out work on the Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches (IFCMA), the International Programme for Action on Climate (IPAC) and broader work on environmental policy instruments (PINE), among others.
ENV/EPI is seeking a Junior Economist with understanding and experience of environmental and climate policies, familiarity with GHG emissions data, and strong programming skills to contribute to the Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches (IFCMA).
